At the same time that when the Moon left and wrapped up its last visit to your relationship sector for the year yesterday this left you more emotionally engaged and aware and with better read on a balance between your own and your relationship needs, Mars’ departure from an adventurous part of your chart has left Venus, the planet of love even more determined to keep the spirit of romance and adventure together. With Venus leaving next week as well, there is no more room for excuses.

Because the Moon’s last visit to your relationship sector for the year is also the first since Mercury, the planet of communication not only left last week but ended all planetary activity on the relationship front, it is doubly important to remain emotionally engaged and aware. With the Moon set to return every four weeks and Jupiter staying on in your communication sector for another six months, with everything needed to move forward aware of what you want from your relationships, what they need from you and with the communication lines open.

In between the Moon’s departure from your romantic sector yesterday and before it not only returns to your relationship sector but to begin the lead up to the last New Moon of 2025, it was always going to be important to hold onto the spirit of romance. There are still plenty of planets putting the focus on your relationships, while these romantically charged lunar vibes will fade from memory if they’re not captured.

While the Moon’s last visit to your romantic sector is having to compete with the working week and what is likely to be a busy one at that, this last visit since Mercury left last month, ending all planetary activity on the romantic front couldn’t be more important. It is because the Moon is only here for a few days that these romantically charged lunar vibes need to be captured and nurtured.

A day after Mars not only left your romantic sector but shifted his focus onto the busy side of the financial fence, there is another coming together of planets that will continue to support a mix of nostalgia, romance, passion and adventure that has been building for weeks. This time, it is a friendly aspect between the Sun, in the heart of his last week in your romantic sector and the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos in an adventurous part of your chart that peaks today.

As Mars settles into his first full day in your romantic sector in two years, he is not only starting to stoke the flames that he will use to fire up your romantic passions and fighting spirit, but is ready to declare war on old excuses, roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined. With no planetary activity on the romantic front since January but Venus, the planet of love returning next week, Mars is taking a battering ram to clearing a path for some of the most romantically charged weeks of both 2025 and 2026.

A day after Mars left your communication sector, ending his six week war on communication roadblocks and barriers, the planets on the communication and relationship fronts are regrouping in order to take advantage of this. While they will be working together all week and while support for Venus and her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice will be especially strong later in the week, today it is the Sun and the dwarf planet Eris that are working together to give your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice.

For now, with the Moon not set to form a friendly aspect to Jupiter in an adventurous part of your chart and to the planets in your romantic sector until tomorrow and also connect with those in your relationship sector before leaving, its last visit to Scorpio for the year is more a chance to become more emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware. Today is about listening to your own voice before focusing on matters of the heart and your relationships.

While Venus won’t form a friendly aspect to the planets in your romantic sector until later in the week and this is going to make the planet of love’s last weekend in Sagittarius one of the most romantically charged, she is watching the planets that already are. Over the course of the week, the Sun and all three planets in Sagittarius will at some point all form a friendly aspect to the three planets in your romantic sector and often overlapping.

As Mars settles into his first full day in Capricorn, he might have returned for the first time in 12 years to find Jupiter on the other side of the sky in your relationship sector, it won’t be until next year that they come close to actively competing. However, Mars’ return and especially when Venus, the planet of love returns next week, means that a balance between your own and your relationship needs is now under closer scrutiny.

While life has taken a busier turn since the Moon left an adventurous part of your chart yesterday, this last visit for the year and since a romantically charged Full Moon earlier in the month, was your last chance to capture a mix of romance and adventure that had built up over recent months. By holding onto a sense of adventure, you are going to hold onto the spirit of romance and especially when this encourages you to put the right work/life balance guardrails in place.

The Moon’s last visit to an adventurous part of your chart for the year is also the first since Mercury left last week, ending all planetary activity here and with it, the support that this has provided for lucky Jupiter in your romantic sector. With the Moon continuing to return every four weeks and as you are only halfway through what Jupiter is making a lucky year for love, as they draw closer to a friendly aspect tomorrow, this is bringing the spirit of romance, adventure and nostalgia together in a way that can be captured.
